Former President Bill Clinton knows as well as anyone how easy it is to make someone sound scary. Just completely misquote them and paint them as something they’re not. But what do you do when that person stands up and calls your bluff? Scott Ott, Bill Whittle and Steve Green investigate

Scott’s interview with Billy Beck can be downloaded here (right-click and save as) while Mike Vanderboegh’s is here (again, right-click and save as).

I’d say I agree more with Mike, but Billy makes some good points too.  Both are well worth listening to.

Sniper is a pretty darn nice guy.  I read one of his posts today and couldn’t find a good part that would work well as a quote – it was all just too spot-on.  I sent an email requesting permission to re-post this bit of wisdom and he was kind enough to say OK provided I include a link.

Here’s the post – Idiot Quote Of The Day

Idiot Quote Of The Day

April 29th, 2010 by The Sniper

“I personally don’t think firearm safety has a place in the schools,” Lori Haas, spokeswoman for the Virginia Center for Public Safety, told FoxNews.com. “That’s up to the parents to teach that at home.”

And that, lady, is because you are a moron. You have no problem with teaching them about sex, STDs, fire drills, auto safety, and stranger danger but you have a problem with teaching them the safe handling of firearms? Wow. You really are stupid. I mean seriously, I’m not even going to sugar coat in any way, shape, or form that you are quite possibly stupidest person that ever lived. The “Virginia Center for Public Safety” eh? Oddly enough the Virginia Center for Public Safety doesn’t actually give a rat’s ass about public safety unless that “safety” involves taking away your 2nd Amendment rights. That’s right, the Virginia Center for Public Safety is just another gun-grabber organization that hides behind the all encompassing veil of “public safety” when they really don’t give a shit about public safety at all.

Haas, whose daughter is a survivor of the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, said her group is outraged that state lawmakers are placing “a burden” on the state school board that it didn’t ask for.

“A burden” on the state school board? Oh, it’s okay to make them host DARE events and MADD events and every-ethnic-background-except-Caucasian-heritage-month events and it’s okay to make them foot the bill for condoms in school but god forbid we teach them how not to get shot to ribbons. Burden my ass. Push your agenda someplace else you irresponsible harpy.

“For the general assembly and governor to dictate to the board of education in writing curriculum is not their area,” she said, calling the law a “freebie to a special interest group.”

Uh huh. You mean like the “freebie” you would like to get to push your anti-gun views in public schools? Because that is exactly what this woman wants. She doesn’t want kids to be safe, she wants them to be indoctrinated that guns are bad bad bad and a fringe benefit to not teaching kids gun safety is more juvenile gun deaths… which supports her position that guns are bad bad bad. Thanks lady, but I prefer that kids get an education about how to handle hazardous items and situations at school from an organization that deals with those hazards every day. The fire department teaches about fire safety, the cops teach DARE, MADD comes in and teaches about drunk driving to kids that aren’t even legal to drink yet… I think I want the NRA teaching gun safety. I’ve seen some of the parents out there and some wouldn’t know what end of the gun the bullet comes out of let alone what to do if you find one.

So what is this big, bad, pro-gun, NRA “freebie” that has Loi Haas’ panties all up in a bunch? Well, here it is in a nutshell…

NRA’s Eddie Eagle website says that the program’s goal “isn’t to teach whether guns are good or bad, but rather to promote the protection and safety of children.”

The Eddie Eagle mascot advises children: “If you see a gun: STOP! Don’t Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult.”

Eddie Eagle does not promote firearm ownership or use and firearms are never used in the program, the website says.

“Like swimming pools, electrical outlets, matchbooks and household poison, they’re treated simply as a fact of everyday life,” the website says. “With firearms found in about half of all American households, it’s a stance that makes sense.”

Ohhhhhhhhh wow. How evil and insidious is that?!? God forbid we teach kids not to handle a gun if they find one.

Lori Haas and her blatantly anti-gun Virgina Center for Public Safety can cram it in their collect ass sideways. They need to stay in their lane and their lane is exceedingly narrow… almost as narrow as their minds. So the best way to keep kids safe is to not teach how to handle or how to not handle those things which might kill them? Wow. Talk about screwing for the sake of virginity. Oh, and before some asshat comes along and gets on a soapbox about how she had a kid at Tech who survived the massacre and how dare I say what I said, chew on this: I’ve lost a niece and a nephew to gun violence. One was a victim of crime (what would have been called a hate crime due to circumstances if the races were reversed) and one (that I never got to meet) because somebody (not her) was stupid and screwed around with a gun. Had he been through a safety course, she might be alive today and I might have had the honor of meeting her.

I’d like to express my condolences to Sniper for his loss even if it was a long time ago.  I’d also like to say that I applaud his intellectual honesty for recognizing the cause of his pain and not taking an easy way out.  Finally, I have to say thanks for allowing me to re-post this on my site – that’s not something everyone allows and I do appreciate it.

I neglected to add The Sniper to my blogroll, but I’ve finally remedied that deficiency tonight.  Sierra Hotel, Sniper – please keep up the great work

All I have to say is welcome to those who found this blog via that link and I have to send a huge THANK YOU!!! to Pamela Geller for that as well
